technology--for handsome profits--that's making it all possible.

Canada, France (Paris is especially aggressive), West Germany, Switzerland
and Italy are tumbling head over heels after each other in a mad competitive
race to push their products.
The nuclear merchants find customers among the anxious smaller powers
willing to pay the price for their own defense (yet invite attack from
equally anxiety-ridden neighbors).
"The result, as last week's Osirak
incident suggests," said Newsweek magazine, "will be a world in which all
nations live a bit closer to Armageddon."
